Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train 1951 Chevrolet front suspension rebuild

Anyone got some advice on removing the front suspension upper inner shaft without an extraction tool. Also, my king pins don't want to come out according to book, even got one in 12 ton press and won't buge. I learned a years wroth in a day on the lower inner pivot pin if anyone is interested. Got all new pars from spring, shocks, and rebuild kit ordered. Don't want to mess up. Before, I sit my new engine in, decided to overhaul the front end.

The only way to get the kingpin and upper inner loose on a friends 51 was a blow torch.

Big heat till it glows was the only solution that worked.
